Pru	Argo: deserved awards. Life of Pi: twee tedium. Twedium. I was praying the tiger would eat the silly little idiot and put us all out of our misery. Lincoln - a good story if told in about 90 minutes, with discipline and rigour, but Spielberg realised ages ago that the more bloated the narrative the more 'worthy' Hollywood thinks it is, so the boredom was no surprise.
Angel	Its become quite apparent that the Oscars are dished out to appease the nominated. For example, Skyfall won because it was never going to win another category. Nobody wins on merit, its all smoke and mirrors. Typically Hollywood.
JK2006	Don't take my word for it; go and see it but I felt DDL was ghastly and I was so bored that I left after an hour. Dull, dull, dull... Loved Argo and Life of Pi. My favourite film LAST year was The Guard, not The Artiste. I thought Brendan Gleeson was far and away the Best Actor. I'm odd.
The Fat Controller	Is Lincoln that bad JK? Was hoping to see it soon...maybe next weekend.
JK2006	If you - like everyone else - rate DDL's wooden caricature of folksy Lincoln, after watching it (if you're still awake, which I doubt) immediately play the scene from A Man For All Seasons where Paul Schofield as Thomas More says goodbye in his condemned cell to his wife Wendy Hiller. The acting standard by which all other performances should be judged.
